Chargers sign 2 players after rookie minicamp

The Chargers wrapped up their rookie minicamp Sunday. The event lasted three days where it saw players that were drafted, undrafted or invited to showcase their talent in front of the coaching staff. The team didn’t hesitate to make any moves as they signed wide receiver Justice Liggins and defensive end Patrick Afriyie Monday.

Liggins spent the end of training camp in 2017 with the Colts before being waived. Indianapolis signed him to a reserve/future contract in January but released him earlier in May.

Afriyie went undrafted in 2018 out of Colgate University. He finished his collegiate career ranked No. 2 in school history and No. 7 in Patriot League history in career sacks.

Below is team’s official release on the signing of Liggins and Afriyie.
